Please give C&C on these pictures. Will attach 2 more below. The lighting was pretty good on stage. I was a few rows back and not using a flash.

No.1 of first set is very nice, and both images in second set are too very nice, although i think they could do with a little PP, to give em a lil bit of a pop.

Cheers

Can someone edit this and let me know the steps they went through. I know how to do simple stuff like Auto-contrast, levels, etc, but I have a whole lot to learn with Photoshop.

Kind of depends on what you're trying to accomplish with your PP on a shot like this. About all I would do is bunp the contrast and edge the brightness down a little. That gets rid of the hazy look and makes the main focus pop a little.

I am most definitely not a pro so you may get much better advice from others.

Fuji convert - Ping me if you have any Fuji gear or legacy glass you're moving.

nice shots, great performer, but she is nto very friendly at all to her fans. She refuses to do meet and greets at any event, and shows up for the concert and is gone from town the minute she walks off stage. I was backstage at Country Thunder in WI, afew years back with Neil McCoy and his band on their bus and she was quite rude to everyone. Maybe she had a bad day...i dunno.

I am no expert but I did as suggested above ( more contrast and less brightness) just to give a quick idea.

Interesting - I have generally heard the opposite. She is usually pretty good at doing the fan club meet and greets and seems to interact fairly well with radio and what not. Everyone has their days!

here is my attempt, only quick though.

Basically played with Curves, then levels, then tweaked Curves just a little, then made the Blue more Vibrant, a little bit of sharpening (hardly any) then blurred the BG (not much) a bit to make it soft
